In spiritual circles it’s very trendy to speak of “raising frequency” or accessing “higher vibrations,” but what if higher vibration isn’t mystical at all, but a precise description of physics at work?
In this episode, Thom explores how order, coherence, and peace naturally emerge when we reduce excitation, rather than seek to raise it.
Drawing on the laws of thermodynamics, Thom demystifies the subject and explains the fundamentals of sustainable change.
Episode Highlights
[00:45] Q – What Is “Higher Vibration”?
[01:16] A – Excitation and Thermodynamics
[03:46] Why You Can’t Force Peace
[06:29] Superfluid Helium Seeks Unboundedness
[08:45] Superconductivity in Simple Terms
